The Columbus golfers have now played nine tournaments on the season and the competition is getting tighter. A total of 38 golfers were up to the challenge that Darby Creek threw at them today. The weather was beautiful, the course was in great shape and the attitudes from the golfers couldn’t have been better.
In the Championship flight Troy Boswell came through with his second victory of the season. Troy battled all day long with Mark Leonard to take home a one shot victory at the end of the day. Troy finished the round with a one over par 73. Leonard’s 74 was good enough to take home second place while Anthony Burbridge and Tim Ford finished tied for third with rounds of 76.
The A flight saw Ryan Richards finally emerge as a winner after multiple weeks of runner-up finishes. When asked about his victory, all Ryan said was “It’s about time.†Richards finished the round with an impressive 74 followed by Alex Leader and his round of 76. Jared Minor rounds out the top three with a good round of 78.
